    Fruit For Christmas

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Dec 14, 2015
     | 4,857 views

    John the Baptist (and John Wesley, too) said that repentance would bear fruit in a changed life. Preparing for the coming of Christ means living and life of repentance and bearing the fruit that reflects that repentance.

    Merry Christmas. Here’s your orange. No joke. An orange was a pretty common Christmas gift in years gone by, especially during the Great Depression. A child would awaken on Christmas morning to find a stocking stuffed with an orange, and apple, perhaps a banana, a few nuts, and if ...read more

    The gift if Christmas, Jesus Christ, is appropriate for everyone, it does not matter who you are, boy or girl, man or woman, rich or poor, black or white, short or tall, fat or slim, this gift is for you.

    December 7th, 2003 Let us pray. Welcome... Today is the second Sunday of Advent, and when we say Advent, we are talking about our Lord’s coming to earth in human form, coming as God incarnate; God in the flesh. This was the first Advent. Christ will come again, not as a baby, but he will come ...read more

    - Christmas is more about communion - The “Christ mass” - Christ – “the anointed one”- Mass – Latin “Dismissal”

    Luke 21:29–30 (AV) 29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; 30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. - You know summer is coming when the fig tree sprouts. - You know that Christmas is coming when ...read more

    What are your Christmas concerns?

    INTRO.- ILL.- For several years a woman had been having trouble getting to sleep at night because she worried that burglars might break into her home.

    1. This kind of King elicits fear in us. 2. This kind of King inspires hope in us. 3. This kind of King makes us heirs with him.

    Very often, at Christmas, we hear stories retold, like Mark Twain’s "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court", where King Arthur dresses in peasant’s garb and visits the subjects of his kingdom. The king lays aside his royal robes and privileges in order to identify with life outside the ...read more

    "Christmas Hearts" are a custom in Denmark, but believers world-wide can develop true Christmas Hearts to celebrate the birth of Christ.

    Developing a Christmas Heart Luke 2:15-20 Christmas is observed literally all over the world, and the traditions and customs are as varied as the countries in which they are found. In Australia, for example, Santa’s sleigh is pulled by eight white kangaroos. Christmas dinner is eaten outdoors and ...read more

    What Do The Magi's Gifts Mean Today?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 2, 2021
     | 1,819 views

    The gifts that the magi presented to the baby Jesus have metaphorical meaning. What do they mean today?

    The story about the three magi visiting the baby Yeshua is a problematic story. If such an event took place, why is it only found in Matthew's Gospel? The idea of three magi traveling from Persia to Judea is fascinating. The narrative says that they followed the Bethlehem star. Many people ...read more

    This seemingly insignificant phrase, "by any means", is actually used to express the urgency of attaining some object sought, along with the means for its attainment. It occurs just four times in the New Testament.

    The Meaning Of Life

    based on 47 ratings
     | 7,555 views

    This sermon examines the profound topic of The Meaning of Life from a wordly and then Godly perspective to bring the listener to a point of clarity in their life's meaning and purpose.

    The Meaning of Life To begin our discussion of the meaning of life, we began with life's end, death. Bill Moyers, the famous commentator who spoke at SMU during the week, quoted on death: "Each night when we pitch our tent, we are one day's walk closer to our final destination."

    The Meaning Of Love

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 8, 2001

     | 11,989 views

    Jesus teaching on love is totally radical. He pushes us to practice love, rather than giving excuses, and he points out that to love is to be a neighbour to anyone we might come across who needs our care.

    You may remember the Beatles, back in the 60’s singing "All you need is Love." There’s no doubt that there was a great truth carried in those simple lyrics. If we were to look around the world today, it’s clear that a good dose of love would cure many of the world’s ills. But it’s easier said than ...read more

    5th of 5 on life after life. This was preached on Easter Sunday. Credit for the main illustration goes to Matthew Rogers. Sermon Central contributor.

    It was a windy but sunny spring day in May of 1986… Matt was a part of the team but the best runner was John Waller. John was somewhat of a living legend at that time in boys track. He was an incredibly gifted runner who had consistently placed in the top 5-10 spots in the mile run at the state ...read more
